Chapter 629 - Call Of Battle
"Sir, the energy sensors detected a swarm of unknown creatures approaching from all directions rapidly. They number over three thousand, and counting!" A crew called out to warn everyone. He displays the sensor results to the main screen for all to see.
"This is bad. Prepare to clash with the demons!" Mitsuzuka voiced his command.
Kenji and the other leaders also sent their commands to all the forces to prepare for war.
The young elites were also inseparable from the war alert command. They were ordered to prepare to be sent to the battlefield if needed.
"Hehe, just like the simulation."
"It's just like a fictional story where we will be fighting demons and supernatural beings."
"But, be careful because they have mental attacks and abilities beyond human's skill set."
The young elites then disband as they must immediately prepare for war.
"Looks like we need to end our conversation here, ladies. I'm really looking forward to our next meeting. I wish you well on the battlefield." Lukas raised his hand in farewell to Elysia's group.
"Keke, you can't help but also have to go down to the battlefield due to the emergency situation, Princess Erina-san. Hope you are well by then." Bai Jin was reproached before he left with his group.
"..." Erina clenched her hands in some nervousness. She had no experience in war, much less one that required her to fight supernatural beings.
"Hm? May I know about one thing, Mio-san?" Elysia suddenly asked.
"Yes, and what is it?" Mio responded in surprise.
"Why did you just keep quiet when those people teased your young lady? Some of them intentionally instigated something and mocked Erina-san earlier." Elysia looked at Mio with a judgmental gaze.
"I will act when they cross their permitted boundary. They are all not ordinary elites, and I can't just interrupt a conversation where neither I nor milady is directly involved. They only intend to assess and incite you, Elysia-sama." Mio responded politely and eloquently. However, she closed her sentence with a sigh. "I really want to beat them up."
"Mio..." Erina didn't know what to say. She knew Mio was in a dilemma and annoyance but couldn't just act like that.
"I see, so it's because of me, huh. I'm sorry, Erina-san. I should have made them pay more than just an apology. Though not all of them, some of them seem to hate you." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
"That's fine, Elysia-san. Bai Jin and a few others also apologized. But, well, some people hate me for something I can't understand. I'm sure that I've never made a mistake or offended them." Erina shook her head.
"Forget about those people with their egos. They're just jealous of you. We're going to higher ground. Do you want to come with us?" Elysia invited with a smile on her face.
"Higher ground? We're going to war, Elysia-san." Erina failed to understand Elysia's intentions.
"Well, then, please stay here." Elysia just nodded and gave Sylvia an eye code. It was time for them to be prepared to step in if the situation got out of control.
"I'll go with you. We're not going to the higher ground to jump into the battlefield, right?" Erina walked after Elysia.
"Take a guess." Elysia smiled mysteriously.
"Wait, where are you going, Erina? Please stay here for your own good." Kenji suddenly asked, somewhat surprised.
He was sure that he did not give any order to his daughter to go prepare like the young elites earlier.
"She will go with me to the higher ground. You and the higher-ups need to monitor everything to go according to your plan. Those demons and supernatural beings are tricky because they are different from ours. Ordinary war strategies will not be effective." Elysia responded without turning around and continued walking away.
"Stay here. This is an order." Kenji emphasized his orders.
Erina stopped in her tracks as she hesitated and was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she wanted to know what Elysia would do, and on the other, she felt the need to obey her father's orders.
"We are not part of the military, and your order means nothing to me. Erina will be safe with me, and I will guarantee that. Have peace of mind in managing this battle." Elysia glanced back once and left the central command room.
"..." Kenji gritted his teeth as he closed the door that was already tightly shut.
"Hoho, I guess what's wrong with you? It turns out that it's just a father who doesn't want his daughter to enter the battlefield. All of us are currently in an emergency situation, and all subjects and objects will become tools of war for us to defend ourselves until we find a way back." Tang Zhou folded his arms in a subtle sarcasm.
"Hm, this is a whole new world. We still need to explore it after this, haha!" Adam laughed excitedly.
"They won't do anything reckless. Mio is also going with them." Mitsuzuka tapped his son's shoulder, but his eyes were still looking at the main screen.
"Yeah, I hope she will keep her word." Kenji sighed and looked into the distance.
Many supernatural beings were approaching quickly, but they couldn't see anything through the thick fog and could only rely on energy sensors to detect their surroundings.
"Hm, they're coming. We might need to step in to face their boss." Solovyov narrowed his eyes with a sharp look.
"If they come with malicious intentions, then we need to test humanity's most advanced weapons of mass destruction." Adam smirked as the strange black creatures entered the special camera monitoring zone.
Meanwhile, Elysia's group had just ascended to the highest point of the mothership, a few meters at the top of the central command room.
Erina and Mio just looked around in confusion as they couldn't see anything but thick fog. The atmosphere was tense and horrified. Only the sound of the engine from the mothership could be heard.
Yet, they realized that the thick fog couldn't get close to them as if a wall of wind was keeping it from getting close.
The two of them stared at Elysia and Sylvia in complete astonishment. However, they decided to wait for what Elysia and Sylvia would do.
"Sylvi, will this horde of demons and evil spirits attack us or just come to say hello?" Elysia threw a little joke.
"Hehe, you are such a jest, Ely. Most likely, they were sent by the big boss to check the spy units that were sent a while ago. It wasn't hard for them to find our whereabouts. But, I'm worried about the underworld creatures that are coming from the sea." Sylvia looked back with her magic eyes.
"Why is that? Is it because the underworld's sea creatures are larger than those on land?" Elysia also looked back with her sacred vision.
"Well, the underworld's sea creatures are annoyingly large monsters. Hmm, that giant octopus looks like it needs to be exterminated first if it keeps getting closer than the safe limit, Ely." Sylvia folded her arms in consideration.
'Yeah, octopus and tentacles! It's even bigger than this mothership. The warships can be eaten whole by the creature.' Elena chirped enthusiastically. She seemed to be able to see an epic battle coming soon.
'Hum-mm~ This will most likely be a battle between armies. Let's see how this big war machine is in action. If the situation gets out of hand, we need to remove the seal from the Earth God and see what happens next.' Rhea was also excited.
"Then, it's getting serious." Elysia muttered as she could also see a giant octopus about seven kilometers in the distance.
"But, worry not, Ely. We're here to assess Earth's most advanced war machines against underworld invasion, right? I'll take care of that giant octopus if it dares to challenge me despite my intimidating aura." Sylvia replied with a confident smile and a wink.
"Uhm, sorry to interrupt your secret conversation, but is it possible for us to know what you're talking about, Elysia-san?" Erina cut off the conversation as there was a pause.
"Ah, sorry to exclude you, Erina-san. We were having a brief discussion regarding the approaching underworld creatures. Those that came from the sea are enormous in size." Elysia spread her arms wide to dramatize the situation.
"But, you still look calm and can still smile. We'll be fine, right?" Erina smiled too, but she felt a little nervous.
"Hehe, let's see what they can do." Elysia smiled mysteriously and looked towards the ground. A horde of creatures with various strange shapes was already in the coastal area.
"Sir, five thousand strange creatures are on standby on the coast. Missiles and bombs are ready to be launched at any moment. What is your next order?" One of the crew asked with a solemn expression. The situation becomes increasingly tense in this land of nowhere.
"We need to know what they're coming for first." Mitsuzuka narrowed his eyes to stare at what was displayed on the screen.
"Haha, we'll have the advantage if we strike them first. We're good in numbers, but our weapons are the greatest." Adam tried to look into the distance using infrared binoculars outwards.
"What!? A big ghoul jumped really high from the shore and headed for one of the vanguard warships!" Marco widened his eyes as a creature shot into the air and landed on the warship vanguard. It covered a distance of several kilometers in just seconds!
After that, many gunshots and screams echoed from the warship in question. Warnings about assault also came one after another.
"It's a declaration of war. Launch missiles and opening bombs.." Mitsuzuka gave his orders.
